What I see in this picture is an old fashion clothing store particularly for men. You can see the old wagons in the front of the building. The thing i notice first is the big sign in front of the store. The objects that are shown here are older looking waggons and old lamp/light posts. The people that are shown here are standing casually in front of the store. The items are placed to frame the sign so that that is the first thing you look at.

This picture represents how some people had different opinions or feelings about flying.

seg What I see in this picture is a waiting room sign that is for colored or african americans. The words I see in this picture are "colored waiting room".I think the audience for this picture was most likely the people of every race, especailly today because they want to show how affected everyone was by the segregation. What I can learn from this picture is how serious the segregation laws were towards african americans during the Great Depression.
The Rex theater for colored people.
What I see in this picture is an old fasioned movie theatre made especially for colored people or people of african american descent. The words I see are "REX theatre for colored people people". I think the audience of this picture was african americans because they probably wanted to know how bad the racial segregation was back then during the Depression. What I can take from this picture is how the segregation affected the African Americans.
Sign on a restaurant, with a sign: 'We Cater to White Tradeonly.'
What I see in this picture is a sign on a door that says we cater to white trade only. The words I see are "we cater to white trade only". I think the audience of this picture was meant to be towards white people. I think this because they want to show how the segregation of race affected the african americans badly and how the white people would act towards them. What I take from this picture is the amount of racism white people had towards black people.
PART 3 After reading all the excerpts and interviews of people from that time period, I noticed how hard it was. In the first one I read of a man named Chris Thorsten , I learned he was an iron worker. In his interview he says that "you ain't an iron worker unless you get killed.". This shows how hard these people worked and how they would put themselves in danger just to get payed. The second one i read was one about an orphan named Anna Novak. After I read this, I learned that she was an orphan in an orphanage. She became a packing house worker. She said that sometimes to get on the bosses good side the girls would let him slap their behind. This shows how desperate people were to have a job back then.The third interview I read was about a lady named Mrs. Marie Haggerty. She was a maid during the depression. She says in her interview that when she had a job once that their was so much distrust that the family placed a five dollar bill next to a bed she was making on purpose to see if she would take it or not. The fourth interview I read was of a woman named Bernice Rent Party Hostess. Her husband left her with an expensive apartment that she had to pay for and couldnt afford. She started to rent her house out to people and would have parties. This shows how desperate she was for money in the deperate times. Lastly, the fifth interview I read was about a lady named Mrs. Elizabeth E. Miller. She was a hous wife and one day her husband left a hog out in the front yard. She went out because he didnt come home in time and she cut up the pig herself. This shows how the houswifes helped out alot in the dpression because they had to take care of the whole family. PART B The person being interviewed is a woman named Ruby Pickens Tartt. Her occupation is unknown. She is a colored/african american woman, her age is unknown.The interview is taking place in Livingston, Alabama.The date of this interview is September 28, 1938. The interviewer is unknown.
The person being interviewed is unknown. His occupation is a farm owner. He is caucasion, his age is unknown. The interviewer is Luther Clark. The interview is taking place in Livingston, Alabama.

The market went down and everything crashed A house and food everyone lacked. This had came to desperate times People were starting drastic crimes. Segregation was the worst Why did the whites always come first? I think it is fair enough for me to say Everything has always been this way. We are starving and hungry with nowhere to live I have given all the money there is to give. I am frightened and the economy is looking bleak My children and I are getting so weak.
